I, WILLIAM N Moonn, of the village of Neenah, in the county of Winnebagoand State of Wisconsin,

`-in Cooking-Stoves, of Whichthe following is a full description,reference being had to the accompanying drawing making a part of thisspecification, in which-- Figure 1' represents a longitudinal verticalsection f taken online x so; y Figure 2,'a similar' sectionon line y y;and :Figure 3, a plan view, with the top 'plate removed;

`iean improvement` on the stove shown and described by 'me in thespeciications of patent No.` `96,526, issued to me November .16th, A'.D. 1869; an i Q .Its ,nature consistsrin the application of apermanently-'attached' plate tothe hot-air chamber, over the centerdraught-ilne, so vthat the heated. air and products of combustion willpass through the hot-air chamber at all times, when plateK isstationary, and in the vcombination of a hotfair chamber with awarmingehamber. V l' To enable others skilledin the art to make and usemy improvements, I will" describe their construction and operation. l

That portionywhich is infront of the escape-flue I,'being ofaliiytusualnor desirable construction, is f-notshown; but asuitableconstruction will be found inthe patent hereinbefore mentioned. Inl thedrawing l i i A represents' a top plate, extending over'the entirestove. L i y B,the space 'or flue between the top plate and the oven.-:0

IMPROVEMENT IN cooKlNG-s'rovss.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and malin'g part of thesame. v

M, the back plate of the oven, which forms one of tom with flues,between the base-plate S and the oven,

in the usual manner.

vThe products of combustion, when thedamperO is turned up, pass overthe-oven, down the ilues R,

forward to the front, and return through the center iiue, up due I), andagainst the plate I, where, by 'reason of `its construction and its.projection out into the hot-air chamber, the currents are distributedthrough said chauiber, and, impnging against its sides, are returnedover the plate Las indicated by tbearrows l and 2, and, uniting in theiiue formed by the plates J and K, they pass into and out of theescape-'flue P.

When the damper O is turned down or backoierthe fines R, then thecurrent is divided, and` that, -when the plate K is made stationary, the

productsof combustion pass into the chamber G at all times whatever theposition of the damper O may be'.

`The plate I Ais made plane at the back, and .is curved in front, asshown; but its form maybe va ried, however. v v

The curved or 4front portion projects out into the `chamber G,'and atthe middle comes in contact, or

nearly in "contact, with the' plate F', to which it is riveted crotherwise secured. 5 y A By 'making the plate I in this'form, and byusing the partition -'plat'e F, I am `enabled to make the hot-airchamber Gr much deeper, and, by reason of its depth, I can use, inconnection with it, a deeppitted or 'sunken boiler and other stovefurniture applicable `to the top of a stove; and, by extending the plateli out horizontally, or nearly so, the' warming-chamber H is appliedwithout any considerable expense, and without any additional parts, theparts forming it being simply extensions ofthe plates necessary 'to anordinary stove.`

The hot-air and the warming-chambers are loadditiouto the ordinarycooking-stove, and when applied@tethe back of a stove, as shown, make a.complete stove in its form Aand operation, and' 1. The plate I, whenconstructed and operating add greatly to its use and convenience.substantially as specied.

I operate it with a. single damper, so that its 2. The combination ofthe fines R and L and use is as simple and its action als direct as theordamper O with the chamber Gr, plate I, andthe ue dinamy stove. or boxJ K, substantially as described.

Having thus fully described my improvements, Witnesses: WILLIAM N.MOORE.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Let- L. L. BOND, tersPatent, is" E. A. WEST.
